| WI DNR Learn to Hunt Waterfowl |
|
In 2009, WWA's Green Bay Chapter held the first ever Learn to Goose Hunt (LTH) program in Wisconsin at the Pittsfield Trap Club. Even though not all six first-time hunters were successful in harvesting geese, they all had a great time and took home some valuable insight into the hunting world, provided by all of their LTH mentors.
This is an example of the type of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) LTH programs that WWA is seeking to expand statewide. In 2010, the Green Bay Chapter again held a LTH program at the Pittsfield Trap Club but were able to expand their program to twelve new hunters! In addition to the Green Bay Chapter, WWA's Chippewa Valley (Eau Claire) and St. Croix Valley (Hudson) Chapters each held their first LTH Waterfowl Programs last year. Both of these proved to be a great success in introducing new hunters to the sport of waterfowl hunting! WWA, partnering with WDNR and the Hunter's Network of Wisconsin, has committed to expanding the LTH efforts across Wisconsin with at least eight new events in 2011.
